The meet is all about meeting others with similar interests, sharing modeling techniques and theories of smaller layouts &#8212; table-tops, shelf layouts, micro-layouts, pizzas, modules and modular layouts &#8212; and how they can be designed and built for enjoyment and modeling satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I hope this grass roots effort gets enough appeal that a future Exhibition could come out of it like those in the UK and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>I will be attending and bringing my Free-mo modules along with <a href=\"http:\/\/smallmr.com\/wordpress\/?p=56\" target=\"_blank\">Mound City 1862<\/a> (even though it is far from finished).
